i first heard the mashup and it seemed like one single tune to me. imo the vocals work perfect with zabiela's remix.

all this
and no mention of
Damian Lazarus or
Erol Alkan? pfft.
It just
depends on
who's playing. I
don't listen to them
all, but a lot of
people I like seem to
play on it, so I listen
to a
fair
number of them.

nice, EM poetry

EM format hasn't changed. Whats changed is people's perceptions of it.

In the 90's it was one of the best resources for any EDM fan to tune into a wide range of music. Nowadays there is 1000's of internet radio stations to cater to everyones tastes.

All the top DJs played EM's through the 90s. So much so that in the 00's it became the "big break" to get the invitation to do an EM. It became the "look how far i've come, i've got an EM"

Thats still the case in theory. As for me, the format hasn't changed. The major jocks get regular shows, with some random 'hot' talent invited on in between.

@ topic starter, if the EM is concerning you about not inviting enough trance DJs, perhaps its for a reason. There are no stand-out DJs or styles or mixes out there, for trance at the moment. The dominance of house, tech-house and minimal as the current "cool" word obviously means that there will be more shows focused on this current trend.

Perhaps the biggest difference to EM is that in 1990's it was seen as a trendsetter. Now its just a trendfollower, like the other 999 radio shows out there.

LAWLZ @ TRANCE!


It's good that the essential mix doesn't host that bullcrap anymore, I hope it's intentional and that they're trying to send a message, trance cant evolve at .000001% the pace the rest of EDM does and still be considered a respectable genre, despite the 900 kabillion trance-heads worldwide.

Good on you essential mix, keep Armin and those other jesus' second coming dj's off the damn show!

ever considered topping yourself? I'm sure we could get enough people to donate because you're pretty pathetic. Trance has evolved in some cases, and it's not being shown much so all you ignorant house-****s think is trance is whatever armin pvd tiesto or schulz are playing. That's as much ignorance as you'll ever see. Then again I wouldn't expect different for someone who's neither french nor canadian.

John Askew has one coming up. But hold your breath as i doubt it will be anything special.

Askew is 1 of the 'few' (rhyme again ) who can surprise me currently on the trance-genre. i was a 'die-hard' trance-listener, but for 1 or 2 yrs now, ive lost my interest. but when i hear a set of him occasionally, he can amaze me most of the times .. looking forward to his EM

btw, is there a schedule available of (all) the EM's to come?

the essential mix has become a bit boring, mostly because of all the dj's that goes on it and plays a set like any other set.

i mean in the past there have been alot of emixes that have been something out of the ordinary, like in 98 where ashley beedle who was making a big name of himself playing mostly house drops a set filled with just ska, reggae, dancehall & lovers rock.

same year, air sends a set (well, they were two). with alot of different type of music, ranging from like sly stone, thomas bangalter,the beatles,chateau flight,money mark,snoop dogg,horace andy etc etc.

in 94,95,96 Snap! provided em's with mainly trance in them, it was little to none mixing going on but stellar tracklists

1997 Scott hardkiss provided a mix with everything from deep house, funky house, breaks, trance, progressive house and even some temptations to end it all

or 1994 when leftfield sent a two hour mix filled with dub,downtempo beats, breaks, hiphop, techno, house


and what do we get in 2007, people like Gabriel Ananda & Seamus Haji playing the same ol shit.

Ouch, you've insulted my patriotic identity, over music with 10 minute breakdowns!

then tell me trance is 'just' about long breakdowns. I'm pretty sure you won't bother to listen, but trance isn't just that stuff that you slag off so easily

He's right sports fans. There was a much broader range of styles and experimentation it seems. Dave Clarke's early mixes were/still are classics. Jose Padilla from 95 was so sweet they played it twice. Psychonauts (96) and Orbital (97) have to be my favorites.

There was a website that stream all the recorded essential mix from 1993 to now.. Does anyone know???

Thanks

can someone (Gillis maximus, montana) perhaps make a a list of EM's from the '90's which just have to be listened to? which would you recommend? im getting very interested now actually ..

ok I listened to some of those samples and to me a lot of that is progressive house, mind you you're the trance expert not me.


Go back and read my post again and read what I said before getting super offended and making this personal.

I may sound like a knob for saying this but as much as big DJs get crapped on (on TA) they still define the genres just cause they're so famous. (imo)

Thus the comment about jesus pose DJs and 10 minute breakdowns.

ooops forgot to mention this is Alex, I'm posting on my buddy's account.
